X2: No Flash?

My X2 would not fire its flash. The rear button would not turn on the flash. It was repaired very quickly by Leica (NJ) but the problem has returned again.

Any ideas?

nothing to contribute directly sorry, i never use flashes! i did think the flash contraption on the x2 looked a bit iffy when i got it (i think i preferred the one on the x1) ... but like i sad, i have no direct experience.

 

however, i do have a similar issue with the ISO button on mine, which is not responding at all; sent the camera to NJ, they should be receiving it tomorrow; when you say they repaired it 'very quickly', may i ask how long it took?

 

thank you and good luck with your issue!

Hi Stefano - It took only about one week. From NY to NJ through my Leica dealer, I was quite surprised. Perhaps the culprit is the entire switch mechanism.
